.In the second game of the Champions League group stage, the Celtics will face the defending champion AC Milan. Facing a strong opponent, the local media in Glasgow are cheering up the team. These days, the media has been recalling the Celtics in 1967. The Celtics use this method to tell everyone that they are not afraid of AC Milan.

The Celtics in 1967 were hailed as a great attempt in football.

In 1967, this year, the Celtics not only made great progress in the domestic arena, but also had a strong momentum in the European stadium. In that season, the European Champions League, the final was held with Inter Milan. The final was located in the National Stadium in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.

On May 25, 1967, at the Lisbon National Stadium in Portugal, two teams will compete for the final championship here. At that time, Inter Milan was called the "Great International Time" and was the most powerful time in the history of the Neptune. At that time, the Neptune led by Herrera had already won the European Champions League championships in 1964 and 1965, while the Celtics entered the European Champions League final for the first time. In the eyes of many people, the Celtics will undoubtedly lose.

After the game started, it developed as expected. Just 8 minutes into the game, Jim Clegg knocked down Reinado Capellini in the penalty area. The Celtics were sentenced to death. Arisandro Mazzola scored a penalty. Inter Milan led with one goal. Inter Milan, which led the lead, actually set up an iron barrel formation. This is what the Italian team is best at, because defense is their old profession, and their strengths naturally have to be used.

Inter Milan's retraction made the subsequent game completely controlled by the Celtics. Inter Milan even failed to get a corner kick in the subsequent game. Goalkeeper Thomson made only two saves afterwards. The Celtics won as many as 39 shots, 13 saved by Inter Milan goalkeeper Salti, 7 blocked by the opponent's defender, 19 shots missed, and two shots were blocked by the crossbar. But this did not stop the Celtics from advancing. In the 63rd minute, Clegg, who had previously lost the penalty, passed the ball to Tommy Jermer on the right side of the penalty area, who scored 1-1, and the Celtics tied the score.

When the game reached the 83rd minute, Celtic star Steve Chamels's shot penetrated Salty's fingers, and two to one, the Celtics reversed the score. At this time, Inter Milan paid the price for their conservatism, and it was too late to push out the attack.

In the battle, the 2-1 score lasted until the end of the game. On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Celtics, they finally stood at the top of European football. This is also the first time that a British team won the European Champions League and the only European Champions League for the Scottish team.

The 11 Celtics players in this game are called "Lisbon's Lion". Later, the Celtics' home court, the east stand at the Celtics's stadium, was named after it.

It is worth mentioning that the Portuguese Super League team Sporting Lisbon is also called the "Lion of Lisbon". In order to express his respect for the great Celtic team in 1967, the team's uniform style is the same as the Celtics, with green and white horizontal shirts.

In 1967, the Celtics League, FA Scotland and European Champions League champions were the earliest triple champions, 32 years earlier than AC Milan in 1999. In addition to the Glasgow Cup and Scottish League Cup, there were a total of five trophies, and the Celtics reached its peak.

The Glasgow media tells this glorious history in a long and long way to boost the morale of the team. The Celtics were able to defeat Inter Milan and today they can also defeat the defending champion AC Milan.

While having breakfast, Zhang Yang picked up a stack of newspapers in the restaurant. His English was average, but it was okay to barely read it.

Gattuso came over and asked, "Zhang, do you understand? What is said in the newspaper?"

Zhang Yang immediately rolled his eyes. He is a cultural person, so why can't he understand English?

"The Scots talk about their great achievements." Zhang Yang pointed to the 'old age' photo in the newspaper. "They were talking about the fact that they defeated Inter Milan in the Champions League final in 1967."

Hearing Zhang Yang say this, Gattuso curled his lips, "What happened in 1967, does this have anything to do with us?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter." Zhang Yang also smiled. He could guess that the Scots used this long-standing story to cheer the Celtics. Perhaps this can inspire the Celtics to a certain extent, but for AC Milan, the impact will not be too great. They just need to do what they want to do.

At this time, Ronaldo also came to the restaurant and heard the loud voice of the Brazilian from afar, "Oh oh, Zhang, my lover, did you feel comfortable last night?"

"Get out." Zhang Yang said bluntly.

Ronaldo immediately made a bitter face, "Don't you love me anymore?" Then he felt disgusted by himself, pretended to vomit, and laughed.

The restaurant was full of laughter. The whole team liked Ronaldo very much. Although in terms of fame, Ronaldo is definitely the most well-deserved brand of the whole team. Even the most popular Kaka is not comparable to Ronaldo, but Ronaldo is definitely one of the best guys to get along with in the team. Ronaldo, who was born in a slum in Brazil, has no airs, is also very humorous, and is good at engaging in the atmosphere.

If it weren't for the accidental seeing this just now, Zhang Yang wouldn't have thought that this 'alien' who always laughed and laughed was so helpless, but so cranky.

Zhang Yang has never felt proud or regretful of his view of Ronaldo as an idol at this time.

October 4, 2007, Glasgow. 2007/2008 Champions League match day. D group, the Celtics played against AC Milan at home.

At this time, there are still two hours left before the game begins, and fans have begun to gather in large numbers outside the Celtic Park stadium. Every game day is a festival for fans who love the team deeply.

In the Champions League quarterfinals last season, AC Milan fought against the Celtics. At that time, at the Celtics' home court, AC Milan and Celtics fought fiercely for 90 minutes and ended with a 0-0 second round. In the second round, when they returned to the home court San Siro Stadium, the two sides still played 0-0 in the 90-minute game. However, when they entered overtime, AC Milan won the Celtics with a long-distance run by Kaka's one-to-zero goal after a long-distance run that passed several players in a row.

The Celtics hope to take advantage of their home court to avenge the revenge of being eliminated by AC Milan last season's quarterfinals 16, but in the previous six encounters between the two sides, the Celtics have never won (3 draws and 3 losses). Of course, the historical record doesn't show much.

Therefore, it is not a dream to encourage the Celtics to expect their team to win AC Milan at home.

There were also many police cars outside the Celtic Park stadium. The police saw the Celtic fans appear and did not do anything. On the contrary, some old police officers who were more familiar with the local fan leaders waved their hands to greet the fans, and the fans responded enthusiastically.

‘John, you know them well?’ A young-looking officer asked an old officer who greeted the fans.

"Old friend for decades," said the old police officer named John, and then he laughed, "Of course, I'm not a Celtic fan, our family is a fan of Glasgow Rangers."

As he said that, John picked up the walkie-talkie and informed his colleagues about his situation. Seeing the young man beside him, "It's nothing strange. I'm a fan of Glasgow Wanderers, but tonight, I will cheer for the Celtics."

"But, I heard, the relationship between the Glasgow Wanderers and the Celtics..." said the young police officer.

"The relationship is bad, right?" John smiled. "I don't know what other Glasgow Rangers fans think, but I will cheer for the Celtics today, and this is also the Scottish team."

The young policeman ended the topic and said with some concern, "Nothing will happen tonight."

"What are you afraid of?" John patted the young policeman on the shoulder. "There are old grudges between the Celtics and Milan, but there should be no big problem. This is just a small test. When the Scottish national team plays against England, then we will be busy."

Although he said this, the old police officer John was still quite alert and observed the surrounding situation from time to time. The Scottish fans were not very good at nature. Of course, Italian fans were not good at it. The security of this game should not be careless.

During this expedition to Glasgow, there were about 1,000 AC Milan fans who followed the team to the away game. Just as the home fans started queuing up to enter the game, on the other side, a large number of AC Milan fans shouted slogans and team songs, and appeared.

"Okay, work." Old police officer John shouted to his colleague on the walkie-talkie.

The appearance of AC Milan fans immediately made the police at the scene feel like they were facing a great enemy.

After a large number of AC Milan fans passed by, the bus carrying AC Milan players slowly drove in. Under the escort of police cars, the bus passed through the Celtic fans.

The Celtics fans immediately reacted. They raised their middle fingers at the bus. With the car window, they couldn't hear clearly what the Celtics fans were saying in their mouths, but the mouth shape at the beginning of the f could be guessed that it was not a good thing.

AC Milan players have gone through big scenes and have long been used to it. They have experienced the most terrifying away trips, and have long been tested.

Zhang Yang was listening to music while wearing headphones. At this time, he took off his headphones, looked at the Celtic fans outside, yawned boredly, and turned his head to look at Ronaldo not far away.

Ronaldo seems a little absent-minded. Zhang Yang knows the reason why Ronaldo is absent-minded because Ancelotti has not announced the starting list yet. Ronaldo doesn't know if he can start. It can be imagined how eager the "Aliens" are to start. It has been more than a year since Ronaldo's last game to play in the Champions League.
